So I disagree with your post. The large justification why is seen in a few of your key points.

The first of these is that rangers are better. While not objectively false, many would say that paratroopers are better, with the key being tactical movement and the extra man. The extra man means both an extra carbine and an extra man that can be lost before you start cutting into the thompson DPS. Paras can lose 2 effective models (2 models at 1.0 RA) before theyre on only their thompson models left. Rangers can lose 1.25 effective models (1 model at .8 RA). For paras you lose your first thompson at 3 effective models in, and for rangers 2.5 effective models. This balance doesn't equalize until the last thompson/model, giving paras a really noticeable edge in DPS loss - the main difference between the two besides paras having more abilities as even their vet is basically identical.

The next issue is your comparison between the 1919 upgrade and the thompsons. It's almost entirely subjective, so I'll just say that the thompson is definitely the preferred upgrade of the two at the top level. The point I'm trying to make is that people would probably say that 1919 paras are less useful than thompson paras, and I think your suggestions are skewed in an unnecessary direction because of it.

On that, your suggestions give them utility and power in a role that people were not using them in (I'm primarily referencing Dave with all of this by the way). Paras simply have insane raw DPS - roughly 20% more than shocks at point blank, all while having significantly more generous DPS curve and tactical movement. Paras are mainly used for retreat path wipes, they're usually not the unit forcing the retreat. They're the second part of a one-two punch, and I think sprint would turn them into more of a haymaker. This is fine, but I think they operate as they should
within their current niche.

Drawing from the previous point about DPS, I think giving them camo when they have THAT much DPS is indeed a bad idea. Paras actually are a different level than Ostheer storm troopers, and British commandos. As for partisans, paras have about 10 partisan models worth of DPS...
Falls are kind of a unit that don't belong in this category IMO. Their DPS curve can be simplified down to that of a super bolt action rifle. They have that same lacking moving performance too. The thing about most ambush units is that they either:
1. Let the enemy get closer, so that they can get into their (relative to the other squad theyre facing) preferred range and win the engagement. This is what partisans have to do since it's the only way they can win a fight. Their low DPS at all ranges means that they're not going to get a wipe.
2. Let the enemy get closer so that they can maximize their own DPS. This is done regardless of what range your enemy's squad prefers to be, because you just want a wipe. Commandos and storm troopers have high enough maximum DPS to do this.

The thing is that falls fall into neither of these two categories for AI ambush units. They don't want or need their enemies to get close because they have a rifle profile (meaning that close range is usually favorable for the enemy relative to long range), and because they can already win long range fights. They don't have the raw DPS to wipe squads on their ambush either. Also, their effective durability still kind of sucks - it's less than that of volks. Point is, I don't think they should be in the comparison for stealth units.

Edit: Giving this post a conclusion/tl;dr: paras have a niche that they perform fairly well in as-is. I think that any suggestions to change them should keep their current role in mind, and whether or not they should be given the ability to act in another role (either in replacement or addition). Personally, I'm not quite convinced by your suggestions and the reasonings.

I can't remember how the 221 performed but I thought a UC/SC with enough HMG/infantry support would be able to softcounter it because of its low armor value.

The armor value, weapon performance, timing, and implementation of each ability can all be altered. It's less about the cost/performance/stats and more about the unit as a concept. Pop cap can be made negligible if need be. Cost can be made really low if need be. Signal relay can be made timed or passive; limited range or mapwide. Different abilities or upgrades to the abilities can be tied to vet. It can get shared vet, or not. I just think too many people are assuming that this unit will be things (a pop cap burden, a "hide away" unit, etc.) that it doesn't necessarily have to be if the numbers and implementation are worked out properly.

The change to stormtroopers has been iterated (edit twice now) already and miragefla has been making rounds defending the changes.

Unfortunately i fear this means stormtrooper mp40s will go through to final patch regardless of feedback. Our role is only to indicate how much we like or how much we love the change.

I am fairly certain it's mirageflas pet project because the unique (unintuitive) weapon profile is very much his style.

Im pretty sure I was the one to originally suggest giving them mp40s. Also, theyre an smg profile. Thats neither unique nor unintuitive.

Also, I honestly havent seen a convincing argument against stormtroopers or a decent alternative. Most people who argued against the mp40s seemed to assume they were pio smgs, and I think they still cant drop that stigma. I have the honest feeling that if we kept the exact same stats, but reskinned their weapons as mp40s, the complaints would go away.

Beyond that, commandos are already proven to work as a unit, with many people enjoying their style. Not sure why stormtroopers, which in the patch operate much the same, are now suddenly a failure of a unit.

Praise Relic Jesus, thank you for listening to us.

Major props to you for suggesting putting a mortar in the airdrop. Super cool idea.

Not sure if RE volley fire works differently, but hits are accounted for when you need to suppress other squads besides the target you are firing at. It might also apply to the squad itself as well.

That's area suppression. Not sure if this ability gives area suppression though, or if area suppression is even a separate stat.
